Flop at the Trop.

(AP Photo. Before today's game, Manny Acta daydreams about how nice it will be to have the rest of the summer off, and wonders whether he'd be allowed to board the team charter to NY after todays game. Reportedly, Manny got on that plane. Sources won't confirm or deny if he got off that plane.)

It's Always Something.

Rays 5, Nats 4: (Sunday): That old, familiar feeling. Manny Acta's final game as Manager of the Washington Nationals, a loss - game winning hit by Tampa on a routine grounder to third that hit the bag. Seems oddly fitting.
